LIGHTCLAN

turtledawn RANK: Medicine Cat AGE: 34 moons GENDER: female SEXUALITY: bisexual POWER: spiritual SKILLS: 3/14 APPEARANCE Turtledawn, upon joining the clan, was named so for the splotches of sable and ginger color all across her back, mimicking the shell of a turtle and cementing her place in the clan forever. Her limbs are long and willowy and her gait is slow yet purposeful, while her eyes always seem to glitter with some calculated energy. She is never behind in a conversation and her wit is always sharp and primed, ready for any question asked of her. Her eyes, narrow and green, always glitter with some prominent intelligence. PERSONALITY Thoughtful, mystical, and intelligent. A worldly she-cat who seeks to understand the cats and places around her, Turtledawn does not believe in delineating things into right and wrong. Rather, she is sensitive and attuned to the world, to layers of meaning and history, and to the changing of winds and seasons. She is always sure to keep a calm and polite demeanor about her, and all those that come across her always speak on how well-versed she was or how easily she traversed conversation. Even so, they often also come back, speaking of how particularly she likes to arrange her herb stores, and how profound her speech tends to be. To many of her clanmates, she is an odd and confusing puzzle that they just can't find the last piece for, an enigma that is content to live in her own world and for them to live in theirs. She is deeply private and quiet and it is incredibly hard to get close to her, however, so many cats of her clan have agreed to simply let their knowledge of her life and personality to the limits of how well she may heal them. She is not a cat who is easily understood and needs to know a cat that is willing to work to be her friend in order to be able to open up, due to her reserved nature. Beyond the layers of mystery and strange actions, she is a very stubborn cat and is not very easy to work with. She sees every idea of hers as the right path and is not easy to talk down from it, and being wrong just fuels her further. She would never let her pride take a hit, and would rather lie than admit she is wrong. + polite, thoughtful, intelligent, worldly -/+ profound, confusing, odd, particuliar - reserved, quiet, private, stubborn HISTORY Turtledawn grew up in a small loner community beyond the clans. Before the events that led to her joining the clans, she spent most of her life wandering the wilderness, and although she very obviously came from beyond the clans due to her odd way of speaking and her mannerisms, she does not see herself in such a fashion. Despite having no contact with the clans or anyone with medicinal knowledge, Turtledawn taught herself all the ins and outs of medicine and herb lore. Turtledawn's prime interest is in poison and antidotes, and she is perfectly happy spending much of her time experimenting with different cures for all kinds of ailments in her own solitude. She joined LightClan in her many wanderings, and after a bit of negotiation, she was accepted readily into their folds and quickly made a medicine cat upon the unfortunate death of the old. When not on the field looking for herbs or training an apprentice, she prefers the quiet solace of her own company.
